This was turning the tables with a
vengeance. The brazen audacity and
insolence of the swift and resourceful
reprisal resulted in making the Com-
mittee of One Hundred and One
ridiculous and the butt of jokes and
ridicule.

Soon the original Committee was

vast transient population marooned
in this wooden frontier “city,” where
restaurants served “mush and milk”
at $2 a bowl, and moose steaks at $4

carefully steered by members of the
gang to “saintly” “Bishop” Bowers,
who, in his God-fearing role, issued
